    Long ago a Protestant was being buried. The minister was beside the grave praying. A man went up a tree quite close and sat there in order to observe what was going on.
    The minister in praying said - “I hear a voice from heaven”. The man on the top of the tree shouted down “You are a liar, I am nearer to heaven than you are and I don't hear it”
